DCNR Seeks Input On Forest Assessment, Strategy By May 21
|
|
The Department of Conservation and Natural Resources is seeking stakeholder input on its Statewide Forest Resource Assessment and Strategy. The deadline for comments is May 21.
This initiative is part of a coordinated, nationwide forest planning effort that will serve as a foundation for programs aimed at sustaining our forests for future generations.
The Assessment and Strategy describes current forest conditions and trends, identifies priority issues, delineates important landscapes across the Commonwealth, and proposes long-term strategies for achieving sustainability.
As mandated by the 2008 Farm Bill, completing this effort also makes Pennsylvania eligible for continued federal funding for its private lands, urban and community forestry, wildland fire, and forest health programs. Stakeholder feedback is a vital in developing strategies for charting the future of Pennsylvania’s forests.
For more information and an online comment form, visit the DCNR Statewide Forest Resource Assessment and Strategy webpage.
